The problem surfaced in social networks directed from Minsk Hope Gorkunova wrote that villagers Haradnianski Moch, Viciebsk district a few weeks cannot buy milk and bread – they do not reach the shop trailer.
My first thought on reading: after snowfall could not pass. But the author of the post in a telephone conversation claimed that a failure of the schedule has learned six months ago:
– It has long been in touch with a local grandmother. I shoot like a story about Haradnianski Moch, imbued with the difficulties of a dying village, and started to follow her life. I talk on the phone, ask how things were going. In late November, she told how the neighbors went out to meet with mobile shops, there were long, cold, and the car drove past. Anything can happen, you know, but when, and by mid-December the old woman she never bought milk, I became her food parcels sent. Mobile shops, according to her, did not come.
It is eight kilometers from Viciebsk! Check with the local automobile dealer schedule, going to wait Haradnianski Moch shop on wheels. Noon, Wednesday ... The road to the village, contrary to expectations, is clean, with no travel issues. But at home all the snow-capped, in the courts of any path. It can be seen, the village is empty in winter. At the turn of the street Central see brick house where the stove stoked. On knock out a man in a cap fitter – is the son of the very grandmother who receives food parcels from the capital:
– Yes, it is true, not long ago mobile shops was about three weeks – so precisely. Yes, you go, you mother she will tell all, I'm here every day.
Introduction. Nadezhda Petrovna already over ninety, she grew up here and remembers Haradnianski Moch large village, which grew thanks to Peat. Shops, room, dining room. People build and could not think that life will go from these places. And now, in the winter, said the village and ten people are not counted:
– In summer, many gardeners and the shop trailer was. And in December – nice if once visited. The nearest shop in Sasnoŭka – two kilometers. Okay, I'm a son brings products from Viciebsk. A neighbor, who at 70, with a stick for food goes, and then on the back of the bag pulls. Is this life? Previously, store met on schedule: every Wednesday at 12, early in the first. Milk will take, sour cream, bread. And now what?
– You are in the consumer society, in the village council called?
– Tom's neighbor seems to be called. She called on the water, sense – zero. Column month as a cold, the water in the pump house on a schedule must be taken.
Tamara Motorina lives through the house cordially invites you to tea, and the pain is about how to survive the winter Haradnianski Moch:
– On mobile shops sin offended – who's winter will it wait? How many times have seen: signaled, and stood – no one. Frankly, there is only sometimes take the salt, sugar and matches. Other niece brings itself or go into town. After a snowfall, I saw the shop trailer could not call: do not have time to clean the road. The real trouble here in another – a problem with the water supply. Before the New Year the water was gone. Three days in a row called the master, promised to do – nothing, then in raykomhoz – the same effect. I'd like to see how these workers will live two weeks without water.
After waiting half an hour in the street, I convinced: this Wednesday in the shop trailer Haradnianski Moch drove again. But as they say, there is a blessing in disguise – have time to go to the water tower.
On the way to meet Valentina Josephovna that drags on a sled two empty cans. Hearing of mobile shops, it says that it also does not expect, once time has not arrived, and stopped to wait. But without water she could – her husband sick, lying, a lot of washing:
– Before the frost, my daughter went to the lake to get water, and now here we collect. But not always successful. Friday's took two cans, and on Monday the tap some frustrated because no water left. Well, a lot of snow – I drown it in a metal bath to her husband's underwear to rinse.
Distribution of water is as follows: a guy from raykomhoz climbs into the basement, connects the pump, into the hole in the wall of the hose slips – and the water poured on the ground for half an hour.
The same day, I call the NC Housing "Vitraykomhoz". In the department of citizens reported that no written or electronic applications from residents Haradnianski Moch them has been reported. Chief Engineer Oleg Getsman, however, aware of the problem:
– Dilapidated water facilities in this village, we took nine years ago balance. Water there is only on the right side of it by economic method built at a depth of half a meter – is the main reason for freezing. Influences and the lack of permanent water analysis. In the village among the 30 households, 48 people live permanently, but winter is not more than ten. Out we see the construction of dug wells, but it is open to question.
While on the street will be a minus, residents have to take the water to the pump house schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Friday at two o'clock. The utilities have promised to conduct a survey and, if necessary, deliver bottled water to people of Sasnoŭka.
As for the supply of products, the head of the department of trade organization of UE "Viciebsk universal base" Natalia Belyakova learned about the problem from a correspondent. The cause has cleared an hour later:
– According to the seller, it is in December, three times to drive into the village, but no one came, and then travel snowfalls prevented. And from the people there was no signal, but that is no excuse. But I want to say that our products deliver mobile shops, even if in a village inhabited by one or two people. And in the winter we are ready to stop near the house.
... On Thursday the seller mobile shops Galina Autukhova visited grandmothers of Haradnianski Moch and, although this time they did not buy her, promised to continue to arrive on schedule.
Comment of Victor Dorozhkin, the Deputy Chairman of the Viciebsk District Executive Committee:
– Even for a week to leave the elderly without a merchant service – a blatant irresponsibility. Of course, we will not leave this fact without attention. Mobile shops winter – perhaps the only connection to the world for the remote and sparsely populated villages, so the executive committee keeps the issue under special control. Even the cleaning of roads in heavy snowfall to the schedule agreed autos. It is a pity that the villagers are not addressed directly in the universal base or in the executive committee: phone numbers are on every auto shop constantly held "direct line" with the leadership, every day working "hot line". The slightest criticism about visiting trade we correct for the next departure.
